Pete Carroll Adjusts Plan to Give Drew Lock Chance to Win QB Job

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has revealed that he is making changes in order to give Drew Lock a chance to win the starting quarterback job.

Lock was playing well for Seattle until he tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, knocking him out of a scheduled start in Thursday’s preseason game against the Bears. Instead, Geno Smith and Jacob Eason played under center while Lock recuperated.

Despite missing time, Carroll told reporters Sunday that Lock will be “playing a lot” in Friday’s preseason finale at Dallas.

“The plan has been adjusted,” Carroll said when asked if Lock is back to starting during the preseason.
